Idris,
Airnodes are discussed in section 5.2.4.10. of the
05-MultizoneBuilding reference manual. The basic idea is that an airnode
is an area of the building that can be characterized by a single air
temperature. In past versions of TRNSYS airnodes and building zones
meant more or less the same thing. With the release of Trnsys17, you can
now define a radiation zone that may include more than one air node (for
example to account for thermal stratification within an atrium)

David
